[Discussion] we are measuring bacteriostatic water at the wrong time and calling it noise
insulin syringe. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.
Everything else people worry about in c/intlshipping is downstream of it. Titration speed, early fullness, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort insulin syringe out first, and almost nobody does.
I say this having got it wrong for 15 months. My eGFR was the thing that eventually made me pay attention, which is a stupid way to learn a lesson that was in the sidebar the whole time.
best — the order this archive was captured in
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
I am going to push back on this slightly.
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 32 weeks to accept.
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
Dead space ate 15 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 0.5mg, massive impact at 0.25mg.
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way

dead space is real and the syringe matters

Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 97.4% on the same vial is normal.
Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 98.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 93 weeks to accept.
Slight fix: the number was 96.2, not 96.8. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
stopper coring on the 6th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.

What was the vial size and how much bac water?

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
